  1. Maybe, maybe not. Interpolation is one thing, but you are extrapolating. For all we know injuries are lower in extreme cold as people play differently. Who knows?
  2. This is so illogical it makes my head hurt. On to ignore you go...
  3. If the Bills can play a solid game on both sides of the ball I think they beat Cincy 8 times out of 10.
  4. Houston is certainly playing hard. In a head shot/cheap shot sort of way, but hard nonetheless.
  5. The precedent is set for moving the game when 7 feet of snow falls on Orchard Park. This won't even get to 2 feet.
  6. That was incredible. The ditches outside Rich Stadium were filled with water from recent rainfall and the drunks were swimming in them after the game. What a scene.
  7. Lol, Maryland. Just like the snow blowing off Lake Erie. Riiiiiiiight!
  8. Except Hurts was never as bad as Wilson has been, and Hurts is a man of integrity and extreme work ethic (not unlike Josh Allen, I'd propose) to improve himself...whereas Wilson appears to be an entitled Cougar chaser.
  9. Beasley and Brown are more like getting Matt 'Guitar' Murphy and Blue Lou from Matt's old lady's fried chicken joint.
  10. Brutally bad call for Miami. I mean, I'm happy as a Bills fan but as a football fan, that sucks.
  11. Play to the whistle. Hill did it and was rewarded. Strange play.
  12. The Ulnar is a nerve. It's not 'shattered'. On the Davis last second play I couldn't bring myself to watch it again until just now (up thread) and it really did just bounce off him. Of course he's made big plays at times, and I still like him as a player, but he is so inconsistent.
  13. Good post. The right caveat to add is most teams don't play three in 12 days on the road, with practices lost to a snowstorm too.
  14. You do realize they didn't do that, right? Trey Lance was the starter and he was lost for year in game 2. Jimmy G. was always meant to be the back-up, or ideally traded for assets before the season started. They have won 40 of 59 games started by Garoppolo.
  15. I believe if a player has control with two feet inbounds, as he leaves the field of play nothing that happens out of bounds should affect that status. It seems strange to me that actions occurring after a player has legally left the field of play and the play is effectively dead impact what happened prior to that when the basic criteria for a catch (historically, at least) has already been fulfilled. To your point in bold, I don't think Poyer lost full possession of the ball. He partially did, but it never hit the ground or even lost contact with his body. I.e. he quickly reacquired full possession a second time. But regardless of that, I don't think it should matter as he met the criteria of a catch previously already before he entered a section of the field where he was no longer a legal participant in the play anyway and the ref blows the whistle at the same time, or even before the bobble occurred. Cases where the player is still inbounds when the ball movement occurs are a trickier subject I think as it relates to continuation to the ground, but even there, it's seems somewhat strange that the ground can "cause" an incomplete catch, whereas it cannot cause a fumble, even in cases where the ball never touches the ground before it is re-acquired under control (ala Hunter Henry last week vs. Minnesota).
  16. Many individual players have finished the year with more than 100 yards per game by themselves. OJ Simpson, Derrick Henry, Eric Dickerson, etc.
  17. I understand the rule. It was correctly applied. Yet, the rule sucks and should be changed in the off-season. Changing the definition of a catch is nothing new in the NFL, they do it all the time.
  18. I believe ST'ers have value but as you say, probably not as much as McD. My point is just that if the sh*t hits the fan roster-wise and they needed to make some moves, if one of those guys was waived I don't think the Bills Super Bowl odds change any. I am not sure about Bernard either but just assumed with his draft position he's not going anywhere, as opposed to Spector being a 7th rounder it's possible that he could make it to the PS.
